Availability: Spring seasonal, since June 2017, in Washington, Oregon, California, and Nevada

Cider Description: none given

Cidery Description: From branch to bottle, Tieton Cider Works controls every aspect of the growing and cidermaking process. Tieton Cider Works boasts the largest orchard of cider varieties in Washington state and the largest Perry pear orchard in the United States. We blend our gnarly, inedible cider fruit with our organically grown dessert fruit. We’ve been growing apples, apricots, cherries and pears on Harmony Orchards – our family farm – since the 1930’s and are thrilled to be involved in Re:interpreting the tradition of cider making.

Price: $6.99Where Bought: Total WineWhere Drank: homeHow Found: Browsing. I had heard it was available on draft but hadn’t had the chance to try it.

First Impression: Light straw yellow hue. Very low carbonation. Smells of honey with a hint of herbs.

Closing Notes: This was released last year too, but somehow I missed it (probably as I think it was draft-only last year). My favorite Tieton cider remains Bourbon Peach, which I’ve only seen on draft, as their summer seasonal, but hopefully they do bottles this summer.
